Weekend Edition | Girls Weekend + Trader Joe’s Dinner Idea

How was your weekend?

Mike was in VA Thursday-Sunday for a golf tournament, so, Sofia and I had a girls weekend!

She had tumbling Friday night, then we went as always, to go grab a hot dog and ice cream after. We had a slow morning Saturday, there’s no more gymnastics since cheer is starting soon! It was nice to just take it easy around the house, plus the weather was gloomy. To perk us up we decided to get out and check out the nursery, it’s always a good vibe! We walked away with a new blueberry bush, the pot I bought is too small, I’m on a mission this week to find a new terra cotta planter! We also swung by Trader Joes, they have the best flower selection…and the best snacks! The herb popcorn is SO good – my all-time fave is the hatch chili popcorn when it’s in season!

Sunday morning Sofia had a patio breakfast outback with her best friend. I knocked out laundry, meal planning, ordered groceries then we went up to the pool. I’m still shocked it’s already pool season and that school is almost out!!! Mike got home around dinner time so he was able to grill, I bought pre-seasoned chicken shawarma from Trader Joes. We chopped the chicken up in rice pilaf bowls then topped with diced cucumber, tomato and tzatziki sauce.

Weekly Find: my mom got me hooked on Lume. Now that it’s sweat your a*s season – EVERYONE needs this! I use the wipes at night to clean off the day (down there and my pits) then the cream in the AM after my shower.

Here’s what we’re cooking this week!

MONDAY: chicken and star soup
TUESDAY: slow cooker coconut curry chicken with rice + broccoli
WEDNESDAY: steak, baked potatoes + french beans
THURSDAY: salmon, asparagus + rice
FRIDAY: out

Hope you have a great week!
